I have 2 reports put together in one fex. When I run it from my dev studio it works great. When I run it through Report Caster, it displays the output for the first report and not the second. Is this an issue with Report Caster? My example is like this:

PRINT X
END
-RUN
PRINT Y
END
-RUN
-EXIT

The report caster will show output from X report and not Y. Is there anyway around this? Will it work if I import both separate reports in Resource Layout and then schedule it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Currently, ReportCaster doesn't support multiple reports from a single FEX. The alternative, however, is to schedule multiple tasks within the same schedule.

Joe, thanks for the idea of separate tasks. That will have to work for now. Do you know if this problem is logged as an issue anywhere with IBI? If so, do you know what release it will be fixed in? If not, can we log it?

Hi Bapper,

This exact issue is on my list of new features. It involves some core changes to the product. Unfortunately, it will not be completed by the 5.4 release.

Bapper, not to worry, this is really easy.
TABLE FILE CAR
..do stuff
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYTAB1 FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
TABLE FILE CAR
..do more stuff
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYTAB2 FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<!-- WEBFOCUS TABLE MYTAB1 -->
<!-- WEBFOCUS TABLE MYTAB2 -->
-HTMLFORM END

that's all there is to it. i do it all day long every day. er...rather, my caster does it all day long every day. Its THE coolest thing about Caster in version 5. I learned this from the Caster prod manager at Summit in 03.

Susannah, that worked awesome. Thank you very very much for the reply. I can see myself using this quite a bit in the future! For those of you wanting to use this code, please note that Susannah inadvertently left off an L from the first HTMLFORM, the code needs to look like this :

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<!-- WEBFOCUS TABLE MYTAB1 -->
<!-- WEBFOCUS TABLE MYTAB2 -->
-HTMLFORM END

Thanks again.
